Price Bill In Effect Signals Whiskey Production Cut
President Truman signed the inflation control bill and Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson issued a temporary grain allocation order. The order bans wheat use for distilling and caps other grains at 2 450 000 bushels for January, about half the 1947 average, prompting distillers to warn of a possible “trickle” of whiskey. Department officials say 1947 grain use averaged 5 000 000 bushels monthly due to earlier high production.
